Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy - Week 9, Period 3

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"My apologies for not coming to class last week. I had a feeling none of you would have appreciated me sharing a particularly nasty virus. I am glad to see that you're all alive and well after the rain nonsense and Seely and Z running last week's class.

Let's move on. Most of you will know this week's villain if only by reputation alone. There is debate as to whether the case files of Sherlock Holmes are fact or fiction and whether Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote them or if they were, in fact, passed on to Conan Doyle by Doctor John Watson, the narrator of the stories. To avoid any charges of defamation, let's assume they're fictional.

In Holmesian fashion, this week you will have to solve the mystery, track down your opponent before you can defeat them. Keep in mind that this week's topic is the evil genius and that in the evil genius you will often meet your match. Don't fall into their trap without a plan."

Re: Pub With No Name

Hamlet nodded, taking in that information. A run in with Professor Moriarty was something that he was going to have to chance.

"Thank you for your help," he replied in the same lowered tone.

After buying a couple of shots, he directed Inspector Lestrade over to a table in a darkened corner because every fictional bar has a table in a darkened corner, and watched the group out of the corner of his eye until they stood up to go.

Lestrade followed, doing his best to keep a low profile. The men at the nearby table chatted quietly enough to not be heard other than a few snippets. Eventually, they stood and left, headed for the docks.

Hamlet waited three beats after the gang had left the pub, and then stood up and motioned for Inspector Lestrade to follow him. He wondered wait sort of thing would be waiting for them down at the docks.

Lestrade joined Hamlet until they reached the docks and saw them enter the warehouse. He stopped short. "There's no telling what Moriarty has waiting in there. Hold back, I'll gather my men and we'll go in."

Of course, it was probably going to be too late by then, but Lestrade was already gone.
